  1. It's Tigers or we're hosed. Twins won today and face a horrific pitcher tomorrow. Hard to believe it's come to us vs. Detroit with us having a fighting chance to overtake those slumpers.
  2. Garcia may be average but he is 14-6. Why does he HAVE to go?
  3. Olivo would be a better backup for AJ. Get Olivo.
  4. Balance is right. ESPN deserves more blame. I was watching here on ESPN because the office I was in doesn't get WGN and as they cut in blabbering about perfection and the next pitch Fred lost the no no. Mariotti just picked another spot to ride the Hawk and I think some of that column should have been printed in green. It was bait of Hawk.
  5. Hey I wanted to personally congratulate some of you who pointed out the Tigers' flaws back when they were winning every series, it seemed like every game. They were winning so many I couldn't conceive of them struggling like they have. As a reminder, who out there was proclaiming the possibility (probability) of a Tiger collapse? I wanna know who on here I should be respecting more. Good calls to those of you who predicted Tiger woes. p.s. They ain't dead yet of course, but they have sucked of late.
  6. I wonder if Juan is a headcase. You don't hear much about him. It seems like he's pretty damn aggressive at the plate and when he hits his occasional bomb ... wow. In other words, can't our hitting coach get through to him? Doesn't Juan appear to have the tools to be a much more productive hitter? That said ... if we can upgrade we need to IMO. I'd rather keep Iguchi. I think we need an upgrade offensively at either ss or cf, keeping one of the 2 because of their defense and not getting rid of both.
  7. Exactly. I'll stand by my pick in last night's game thread. We're done cause we're too inconsistent. I'm hoping giving up will be reverse superstition.
  8. Detroit is definitely shaking right now just as we were last September. The Twins look damn good still. We win one, lose one. Hanging in by a thread. If we can keep getting reasonable starting pitching (especially head to head against Detroit in the 3 game set) we got a chance. I don't like our chances of overtaking the Twins, but Det ... it's possible, tho not probable. We've just been too inconsistent. Even today ... what's that s*** from Iguchi?
  9. Do you think Oz will fine Iguchi or bench him or were the baserunning gaffes not laziness, just something bizarre???
  10. I can't imagine anybody dying to get Freddie right now. Not bagging on him. I know he's had some gutty outings of late, but he, Jose and Mark haven't been too dandy the second half.
  11. Thanx, I sure get sick of seeing our guys face lefties, especially AJ, Jim and of course Pods.
  12. I'm out; i hope I can look back and say I was wrong this day. On Sept. 12 our team's hopes died.
  13. I wish AJ coulda got the big hit with runner on second. Woulda been a huge win.
  14. I didn't mean it to be trite; I guess I've been thinking about that documentary all day and inserted it in my Sox comments.
  15. Good line, fathom. Like Tony this is the first night I've felt deep down we are done. Hope Sox can prove me wrong but for first time I feel like it is over. Too late and we have shown no reason for optimism that we could overtake Minnie. Maybe if Detroit keeps losing.
  16. I guess I'd root for Maggs also. Tigers and A's.
  17. I knew somebody woudl take my 9-11 comment the wrong way. Seriously watch that documentary. Best piece of TV I've ever seen. It was so sad.
  18. I hope our tired arms rest up this postseason. It will be terrible if these guys are hurt again next year.
  19. I also hope the Yanks beat the Twins ass again.
  20. I'm gonna have to root for Big Hurt in the postseason not this weekend.
  21. Not trying to be insensitive but it is just a game. I was reminded of that last night watching the incredibly sad and interesting documentary on 9-11 on public TV. Sports ain't life and death like that.
  22. This October is gonna suck without postseason baseball. I'm spoiled.
  23. Somebody needs to put us out of our misery. It's so frustrating not being able to beat out Det. or Minnie. Keepin the faith.
